THIS GAME IS A WORK IN PROGRESS AND WILL HAVE MANY MANY BUGS
Realm Empires
Every review builds your empire.
Realm Empires turns your daily Anki reviews into a Civilization-style strategy game. Found cities, discover new technologies, raise legendary wonders and race your friends to victory, all with the cards you were going to study anyway.
Study to play
Every card you review sends powers yours empire, which you spend to grow and build. To keep things fair between different studiers, the frequency at which you earn resources is tied to your average review count. This means players with smaller daily review loads, can still fairly compete with individuals with much higher loads like medical students.
Build a civilization
- Found new cities and watch them grow.
- Research nearly 50 technologies, from Pottery all the way to Railroads.
- Race your rivals for 14 legendary wonders like the Great Library, Stanford University, and the Sydney Opera House.
- Explore a brand-new map every game, full of hidden villages and natural wonders.
Choose your path to victory
- Science: cure cancer by researching Precision Oncology and completing the Global Clinical Trial.
- Renown: fill your cities with great art and writing, and send Envoys to win over the world.
- Frontier: claim more land than anyone else and hold on to it.
You can switch strategies at any point. The first player to win any of the three takes the game. But be wary, your opponents can sabotage your progress! When your rivals get ahead, you have ways to fight back. Send Spies to slow their research or steal their art, Warriors to raid their land, and Outposts to push into their borders.
Play with friends on your own time
Games last one to two weeks, for 2 to 6 players. Games play through asynchronously so you do not need to be online at the same time as your opponents.
Invite friends with a game code, join a public game, or let Quick Match find one for you. You can also fill empty seats with computer players, or take on a whole game of them by yourself.
Built around your studying
A small display on your review screen shows how today is going and what's about to finish, so you can keep studying without opening the game. New players can start with a short guided Practice game to learn the basics.
Getting started
Install the add-on, restart Anki and open Tools β Realm Empires (Ctrl+Shift+E, or Cmd+Shift+E on a Mac). Play a quick Practice game, then start a real one and send the code to your friends.
